Komorebi

Komorebi—a Japanese word that beautifully captures the essence of "sunlight filtering through the trees"—perfectly conveys the delicate interplay of light and shadow in nature. It evokes the image of golden rays spilling through the canopy, softly caressing the forest floor while darker corners remain cloaked in mystery.

In this photoshoot with Manual Vason, the stills tenderly unravel the suffocating bond between humanity and the natural world. A clear, illuminated plastic sheet encircles the female figure, trapping her in a delicate embrace, preventing her from reaching the lush, vibrant greenery that surrounds her.

Within Komorebi, a quiet yet profound dance unfolds, revealing that it is the human figure herself who constrains her freedom, amplifying the haunting truth that we continue to entangle ourselves in self-imposed limitations —limitations that ultimately stem from the destruction of our natural world.
